[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think being serious about religion requires a lot of self- discipline.  So it could be that religious parents have self-discipline and their children are more likely to be self-disciplined as well.
The other aspect is that these families have a strong culture and exist a little bit outside of mainstream American culture.  So while I am sure they are influenced by parenting trends in pop culture, they likely also receive a lot of community support for parenting more or less like their parents did.[/quote]

If all the women have 8 kids - what kind of support would be available? Oh, I'll watch 16 kids while you get your hair done? [/quote]

Getting their hair done? Tell me you know nothing about Orthodox Judaism without telling me you know nothing about Orthodox Judaism.[/quote]

The women are required to wear wigs and cover themselves completely when outside.

In New York, the Hasidic Jews use their own schools to educate their children at the same time getting hundreds of millions of dollars in public funding.

When the community finally agreed to test their children for New York , the school, the Central United Talmudical Academy, gave 1,000 of their students state standardized tests in reading and math.   Every one of them failed.

There are extremists in every religion, usually a very small percentage, and they are never a good thing.
